Book Reviews of The Healthy Slow Cooker

Book Review: Yummy, healthy, beautiful presentation
Summary: 5 Stars

I am so impressed with this cookbook. Until now my slow cooker has been banished to use only when I cook an annual pot roast in the fall when we go apple picking. It has resurfaced! The recipes in this book are fabulous and healthy, plus the presentation is beautiful. If you are health concious and looking for slow cooker recipes, and don't mind an extra step, this cookbook is for you. The author clearly lays out the reasoning for an extra step here and there in her Slow Cooker tips section. Yes, you saute certain veggies, such as onions, before adding them to the slow cooker. Yes, you wait to add some veggies, bell peppers for example, until the last 20 minutes. Yes, the tasty results are worth it! I roll in the door from soccer with the kids, throw the bell peppers in (I have them chopped and ready in the fridge) and by the time everyone is unloaded we're ready to sit down to dinner. I have recommended this book to family and friends and am now using my slow cooker weekly.

Summary of The Healthy Slow Cooker

A winning combination of healthy eating and convenience.

Here's an ideal combination: a tasty meal, nutrition for good health, and the convenience of a slow cooker. The Healthy Slow Cooker offers more than 100 delicious, nourishing recipes that are healthy and contain key nutritional, health and wellness information. Along with a complete nutrient analysis, each recipe will feature: - An icon denotes vegan friendly recipes - "Mindful morsels" that highlight particular nutritional elements - "Natural Wonders" that provide an a overview of a dish's healthful benefits

For example, Indian-Style Chicken with Pur?ed Spinach provides 400% of the daily requirement of Vitamin K, and cumin in the recipe improves digestion. Here's a small sampling of the tantalizing array of recipes: - Creamy Polenta with Corn and Chilies - Moroccan-Style Lamb with Apricots and Raisins - Ribs 'n' Greens with Wheatberries - Winter Vegetable Casserole - Cranberry Pear Brown Betty - Indian Banana Pudding

For diabetics, the book features a separate section of useful advice and nutrition guidelines.
